Yuungnaqpiallerput, The Way We Genuinely Live: Masterworks of Yup'ik Science and Survival. Seattle: University Of Washington Press, p. 315Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact https://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=82 , retrieved 10-24-2018; see web page for additional information: Hat, Yup'ik. This simple caribou fur hat, trimmed along the bottom with bear or wolverine, reminded Yup'ik elders of the ways that clothing expresses place, identity, and family, and how it connects the thoughts and lives of human and animal beings. People wore circular caps like this in regions south of the Yukon River, where parkas were made without hoods.

From card: "Compare with #23375 (Makah - Neah Bay) - GP."72683, 72684, 72696 and 72697 are identified as Swan original # 45. Swan's list in the accession file identifies # 45 as "3 Indian baskets from Sitka, and wooden canoe bailer." Because of this listing, the canoe bailer was assumed by the cataloguer as from Sitka as well and catalogue card identifies it as Sitka Tlingit. Note however that Anthropology staffer George Phebus (listed as GP on catalogue card) comments that this canoe bailer is similar in form to Makah canoe bailers.
